I have a Maxtor Portable Harddrive which I use to transport data. That way I can work with the same documents hatever computer I am on. I want to back it up but don't want to just copy and paste. How can I back up the harddrive onto an internal harddrive on a normal desktop?
Most Portable hard drives come with back up software. Check and see if this is the case. One of the best file managers Ztreewin can be found here. This is NOT a DOS application! You can tag files across network drives, partitions and copy them all at once. Duplicate directory structures, sort, search file names and file contents. Limited mouse support, it is actually easier and FASTER to use the keyboard. Sort by day, date time, file size. Too many options to list here. Fully functional version but time limited. Meaning you can use it for a short time (30 days) then decided if it is worth purchasing.
Cobian backup is another good tool to have. It is free and can be found here.
